HILLVIEW - After listening to city attorney Mark Edison verbally read the legal description on its municipal boundaries for over an hour in October, Hillview councilmembers had the opportunity in November to see what the community actually looked like.
Brad Armstrong and Tim Tinnell presented the electronic version of the city’s actual boundaries.
In using existing mapping technology, Armstrong said they were able to customize it to meet the needs of Hillview.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt County Public Schools wanted to prove it included some of Kentucky’s best students. An elite classroom program was created to increase the students’ success.
The Bullitt Advanced Math and Science (BAMS) class at the Riverview Opportunity Center was established at the start of the 2010-11 semester.
Twenty of Bullitt County’s top eighth graders were invited to participate in the four-year accelerated high school program including two years of college credit at no cost.

LEBANON JUNCTION - For some time now the city’s floodwall between Railroad Avenue and Highway 434 has sat damaged and while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was supposed to begin repairing the floodwall’s separating tiles late last month, the project has hit a snag.

During the November regular meeting of City Council, Mayor Butch Sweat said the corps put the project on hold after bids came in higher than the $300,000 estimate the corps had originally anticipated for repairing the roughly mile-long section of the floodwall.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - With many of the details worked out, the actual process of recounting each of the paper ballots in the county jailer’s race could start as soon as Tuesday morning.

After two days of hearings, attorneys worked with Bullitt Circuit Judge Rodney Burress to determine the process of the recount, which was requested by Paul Watkins, who lost by 55 votes to Martha Weaver Knox.

Before any recount could begin, Watkins must post a surety bond for $13,000, which is the estimated cost of the process.
